    Is that for real or a typeo? 5.75" stroke? Or was it supposed to be 4.75"?

    By the 24th of July the block pattern should be at the foundry. That is the day my son and I will be there to see how things are going. We will take some pictures off the patterns at that time. It will not be too far in the future that we will start taking deposits. This is needed so we know who is interested. But before that we will be casting 3-6 blocks to prove everything out. After that, then we will make blocks for our customers. Approximate price $5900.00
    I would like to thank all of you folks for your support with project. I hope this is the beginning of a higher level of Buick Performance.

    Great news for the buick community.

    Did i miss it or do you have a ballpark number on how much these are going to cost? you mentioned deposits that is why i was curious.

    Dang! That's more than I paid for my entire car. I'm hoping it will make killer Buick power!:beer

    More importantly it will let you make KILLER POWER and keep the thing together. That's what we need! Looking forward to getting my hands on one.

    On par with the Mopar block price and the Chevy ZL1 aluminum block is about 5 g's so Mike is not out of the ballpark with this block. :TU:
     
  14. maybe i missed it. is this block going to be aluminum?

    By all means I am sure Mike priced it fair. I just had a little sticker shock:eek2:

    It's more $ to keep re-doing the old one's.An aluminum block is a lifetime investment,it can be welded and repaired if ever broken
